Some stupid questions

[York1]

OK I have 2 PIII 800 both running at 912mhz Ive got Alpha Pal35Ts on em with Artic silver
My temps normally stayRight around 100F running Seti 24/7 Sometimes during the day when its warm in the house it gets as high as 114-115 When they sit idle without seti running they run about 95 or less depending on room temp
These temps still seem high to me
Is it possible the little platic feet on the alpha are holding the HS up just a tad?Might i get better results if I cut the feet off and use a copper shim for stability?
Any help would be greatly appreciated The reason Im asking is I pla on trying to go for 133mhs bus soon

How does your board measure cpu temps?

 

[York1]

Thru those little sensors stuck in the middle of the sockets and Ive heard they are not accurate
BTW Im using an MSI 694D Pro

The sensors in the middle of the socket aren't as accurate as using the thermal diode but its still pretty good ,115F is about 46 C ,seems ok to me ,anyone else?

BTW have you got any case fans?

 

[York1]

Yup got it all sitting inside an Addtronics W8500 3x92mm 4x80mm case fans

What about room temps?

 

[York1]

Well they vary from about 85 at miday to as low as 65 at night

Your temps seem OK to me then
